H-E-B: Hydrogen Energy Buyer

In a push to become more environmentally friendly, H-E-B is retooling some of its vehicles.

No, the San Antonio grocer isn’t trading in its clunkers for cash, it’s one-upping that move.

H-E-B has signed on with Nuvera Fuel Cells to buy 14 Hydrogen fuel cells, along with a Hydrogen generator and Hydrogen station. The fuel system is supposed to be up and running in September.

The Hydrogen fuel will power forklifts that H-E-B uses at its perishable distribution center.

“H-E-B is committed to being a leader in the use of clean energy technologies, and we believe that hydrogen and fuel cells offer tremendous potential in reducing greenhouse gas emissions while simultaneously improving our productivity,” said Bobby Greene, director of fleet maintenance for H-E-B.
